Reviews and Ratings

Lots of racy acidity on this bone-dry Albariño from the Rías Baixa wine region. Produced from a co-operative of 428 growers that was formed in 2005, Paco & Lola 2018 is so fresh and zesty with bright apple, pear and zest grapefruit flavours on the palate with a tangy mineral finish. Chill and pair with green salads or calamari. - Community Wine Reviews

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.
